You cannot do conversion from ISO 8859-1 to UTF-8 in-place because the UTF-8 version will generally be longer (unless you convert a pure ASCII file, which does not need conversion in the first place). Therefore, you would have to overwrite what you have not read yet. Instead, convert to a new file with a temporary name, drop the original and rename the temporary back to original. This is not that complicated.
If the problem is that you want to overwrite a file already open by the database, then rename the incoming file first and then convert copying to the target.

    This seems to return #246; but not ö for ö. Unless the & character is not getting displayed for some reason.

    Hi,

    I have special character(s) in a column and that character is chr(189) and because of that when i use the xml functions in my query it returns below error.

    I am using sys_xmlagg and getting above error when i encounter the data as below:
    "Dixon¿s Chicago".
    Note: When ever It encounters the bold character string it fails ... Any help !!!
    And one more thing when i create another record with same data by copy and pasting it works fine and when i did a dump on that column data its different. see the below result of dump.

    if you observe the above 2 rows the fist row shows length as 12 and second shows as 11. actually 2nd rows works fine but first gives error. I am not able to see where that hidden character is and not able to remove that character.

  • About encoding convertion from ISO8859-1 to GBK

    Hi,
    i tried to convert a string of 000"testline"111 from iso8859-1 to gbk.
    here is the code:
    // db stores data in iso8859 encoding
    String contractname = rs.getString("contractname");
    // change it to gbk
    String contractnamegbk = new String(contractname.getBytes("ISO8859-1"),"GBK");
    my test page uses GBK charset
    and when i display it on the page using <%=contractnamegbk %>
    it only shows me 000 missing the "testline"111
    anyone knows what the problem is?
    thanks very much

    man i still have problem converting from 8859 to gbk
    i think string is just string, it represents that
    single piece of data wherever it is stored, on
    windows,unix or other systemIn Java a String contains UNICODE characters. I say again, UNICODE characters.
    >
    the difference is that system might use different
    encoding to read what this data is,so they
    getbytes(in some encoding) hoping to know what it is.No! getBytes() converts the UNICODE characters contined in the String to an array of bytes using the encoding specified. If you don't specify an encoding it take the default encoding which is platform and Locale delendent.
    >
    i use this
    String gbkstring = new
    String(paraStr.getBytes("ISO8859-1"),"GBK");
    i think data transferd from a iso8859 database to my
    testpage, and i should use the same way to decode it
    to what it is and i then use GBK to store or display
    it.NOI NO NO! As I said in my first post, this first creates an array of bytes which are the ISO-8859-1representation of the characters in the String and then pretends that these are GBK encoded and tries to create a String from them. It does not convert ISO-8859-1 to GBK. I say again, it does not convert ISO-8859-1 to GBK.
    >
    and it works.but when i tried to convert 000"test
    word"111 it still displays 000 missing the rest
    I don't understand what you mean here.
    The bottom line is that when you get the String from the database, whatever the coding was in the database, once you have it as a Java String the content is UNICODE characters. If the database stored it as ISO-8859-1 then hopefully the JDBC driver performed the correct conversion to turn it into UNICODE.
    Java Strings contain UNICODE characters. Java Strings do not contain ISO-8859-1 characters. Java Strings do not contain GBK characters. Java Strings contain UNICODE characters.

    There has been talk about adding these config files, that fixes this kinda problems, to a separate pkg with a helper script you run 32bit programs with.
    for quick fix
    Link
    Grab the 3 pango files, throw them somewhere, edit pangorc to corresponding paths for the 2 other files.
    Start program with
    export PANGO_RC_FILE="/path/to/pangorc"
    program
    for the string error, if its iconv
    export GCONV_PATH=/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gconv
    to previous command
    Note, you cant start 64bit programs that use pango/iconv from the terminal you exported the variable.

  • Bug? Accessibility Tags Converting from Word 2007

    This seems like a minor issue, but it's one that could create a lot of frustration for a disabled person using a screenreader to read tabular data in a PDF.
    As you know, Acrobat plays nicely with Office apps allowing users to create tagged (structured), accessible PDF documents from MS Office files. I just created a simple docx file with a table (attached), and when I converted it to PDF, I noticed a difference in the tags it creates compared to conversion from Word XP. As you see in the Word file, the table is very basic, except that one of its column headers is split into two cells. This is actually a very common technique for presenting table data. In order to automatically tag the header rows as table header cells <TH> in the PDF, I set the first two rows to "Repeat Header Rows."
    Converting from Word 2007 with the "Save as Adobe PDF," or any other method that uses the Acrobat plugin, creates a tag tree that is missing a <TH> tag. I found the problem when I was testing a file with JAWS screenreading software. Using the JAWS "current cell" command (Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 5) to announce the column headers. It reads the wrong header for the current cell due to the missing <TH>. So, in my example file, it announces $2 and $5 as 2010 amounts rather than 2009. That could be pretty confusing to a screen reading user, to say the least.
    I then compared the result to the new Word 2007 "Save as PDF or XPS" feature. That feature tagged the file properly and the header columns match up.
    Compare the attached "save-as-adobe-pdf.gif" to"save-as-pdf-xps.gif". Note the empty (but necessary) <TH> tag in the latter image.
    Just as a sanity check I had a coworker with Word XP convert the file. Those tags were correct too. So, this must be a problem between Acrobat and Word 2007.
    Anyone have other observations on this? I'm going to be leading some accessibility training and right now, it looks like using the Word 2007 conversion feature is the way to go.
    I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Hi Joe,
    I sense your frustration. For any organization that has to or wants to engage in providing accessible online information
    a serious logistics support issue raises its head. To do PDF, HTML, whatever the proper way (and it can be done)
    requires more resources (training, knowledge, hardware, software, changes to work flows, perhaps some more staff).
    The is no "work smarter with less & pump out more" in this venue.
    Yes, it is helpful (and necessary) to "be one" with the S508 "paragraphs" - WCAG 1.0 - WCAG 20.
    However, once anyone begins to provide PDFs that must be "accessible" the first, single most important reference is ISO 32000.
    The Adobe PDF References that preceded PDF becoming an ISO Standard are useful; but, ISO 32000 is the standard.
    In this documentation there is full discussion of what *must* be done to provide an accessible PDF.
    Without a firm understanding of this content, other information tends to bring about a defused opacity of focus which can
    contribute to major conceptual errors vis-a-vis accessible PDF.
    Leonard Rosenthol's AUC blog entry provides a link to the ISO permitted Adobe version (free) of ISO 32000-1.
    http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/leonardr/adobe-posts-free-iso-32000
    Additional, useful information is found in these two documents:

    About JAWS - Yes, much used. However, not the exlusively used AT application.
    If I use Windows Eyes, NVDA, a braille reader, or something else then what?
    JAWS *does not* define "it is accessible"...
    re: (1)
    "Game away and if it ...."
       Consider "Stop before right on red".
       "Compliance" is Stop on Red - Turn Right
       "Intent" (aka usability) is Stop on Red -  Look Good for on coming traffic that has the right of way - Yield - when clear, turn right.
    But, at least we are not talking about "left on red" 8^)
    re: (2)
    Just an observation. A defective product that claims to be "whole" can get entities (individuals/businesses) into a sticky wicket.
    Putting a high volume of defective products on one's selves only increases the probability that one gets 'busted'.
    Quantity replacing Quality just is not a success precursor.
    Case in point - Target and the national class action legal action that was taken against it with regards to "accessibility" of online information/services.
    Resolved now - see NFB's web site.

    Efficiency does not preclude providing a "whole" product.
    I doubt that there will ever be a seamless "one-click" between products of any of the dominant software houses.
    They are intense competitors. That this is the case does not abrogate others from providing a "whole" product, no?
    So, if the organization wants the "we do accessible PDF" label then it pays the freight - Adobe Pro, training, appropriate work flows, etc
    that permit delivery of PDFs that meet the standards for what a well formed tagged output PDF is (accessible is a sub-set of this).
    For PDF there is no other way.
    If this cannot be done then there is always HTML as an acceptable method (to some it is the preferred and only "true" way).
    However, HTML, done "right" for accessiblilty is just as demanding in its own way.
    With each AT version / dot version release, JAWS - Windows Eyes - NVDA & others hone in closer on utilizing PDF ISO Standard 32000.
    That means if you deploy "accessible" PDF you need to provide PDF that live to the ISO standard.
    Keep in mind that S508's paragraphs began when, effectively, HTML was "it". In software terms that was geologic eons ago.
    For contemporary AT to effectively parse PDF, the PDF must be a well formed Tagged PDF having a format/layout that reflects a logical hierarchy.
    Creation of all this must start in the authoring environment with the content author.
    The post-process PDF output then assures that the PDF elements (tags) are the correct type, have the requisite attributes, etc.
    Without this, AT will not be able to provide the end-user effect utilization of the PDF.
    So, for AT to properly 'work' the PDF, <TH> elements *must* have the Scope attribute's value defined, Row and Column Span values defined, etc.
    Scope, Row Span, Column Span, Table IDs and Headings must be added as part of the post-processing of a PDF using Acrobat Professional.
    An alternative is the Netcentric CommonLook plug-in for Acrobat Professional. What it does, Acrobat Pro can do; however, the CommonLook
    provides a robust user interface. Downside: at some $1k per seat it is not 'cheap' and it has a *steep* learning curve (Sitka Pass?).
    Two table related resources are at this AUC thread (in post 3 and 4). They may be of some usefulness.

    When the "smelly stuff" gets feed into the maw of the fan it's prudent to not be directly down stream, eh.
    Consider Target and the situation they put themselves in.
    Consider submittal of accessible PDF to fedgov or stategov agencies.
    They won't be in front of the fan if usability of the PDFs becomes an issue.
    Rather, it will be those submitting. After all the agency did say "accessible".
    Better to slow down and do it right or ramp up resource loading to support "schedule" than to stake oneself out as someones "feed" tomorrow, no?
    In the final analysis, for PDF, HTML, or any 'format',  Accessibility is the Usability + Compliance.
    Does it take improvements in professional development/training, adequate hardware/software, *time*?
    Yes. But, it all comes down to "where the rubber hits the road" - what tires are you on?
    It can be done. I do it one small step at a time every day. Often, that's what it takes.
    Deliverables are provided; but, with no mis-labeling and the incremental progress is identified, celebrated and the whole thing continues until
    the "road" is completed properly.
    Don't want wash outs, bridge collapse or what not tomorrow <g>.
    (But then I'm a fan of "Holmes on Homes" which may go a long way towards understanding my point of view when it comes to accessible PDF.)
    re: function(){Return ....
    Good question.
    My guess - either from the cut & paste I initially performed from the application I'd been using to assemble write up and screenshots or something associated with the Adobe Forum application.
    It can't be that I'm 'special'; if that was the case one of my occassional lotto quick picks would have been a big $ winner long ago <G>.

  • Converting from single episodes to seasons

    What happened to episodes already purchased when you convert from single downloads to buy a whole season? Dop you get credits for the episodes you purchased before iTunes offeres up the series as a single purchase?

    It's not a true conversion problem that you have but more a space problem. Tables columns are created by default with the init. parameter NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS character semantics:
    If NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = BYTE
    then 1 character = 1 byte whatever the db character set
    If NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR
    then 1 character = 1 character size for the db character set.
    If this parameter is changed it is only taken into account for newly created tables or columns: existing columns are not changed.
    See http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96529/ch2.htm#104327

    Hello. So, it's difficult to say, but the following line is probably the cause of the problem.:
    Image sourceImage = new ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(newName));Basically, you are making an ImageIcon by passing an image, but perhaps you can just replace the line with this:
    Image sourceImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(newName);I use ImageIcon when reading from files, such as:
    BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(file);
    Icon icon = new ImageIcon(image);However, if you already have an Image, I don't see why you just can't just use the Image reference. Perhaps someone more wise will have a more concise answer. Good luck.

  • ABAP code needed to convert from 0calmonth2 & 0calyear to 0calmonth

    Hi SAP GURUS,
    Can anybody give me the ABAP code to convert from 0calmonth2 and 0calyear to 0calmonth.and please suggest me whether i have to write start routine or end routine in transformations.
    Thanks ALL.

    hi,
    in the transformation map 0calmonth2 and 0calyear to the 0calmonth field, and from drop down choose routine.
    there will be an area where it will be mentioned write your piece of code below this line.
    paste the below code:
    Concatenate source_fields-0calmonth2 source_fields-0calyear into result.
    also delete the line result = .
    save the routine and execute the package.
    regards,
    Arvind.

  • The bullet list, numbered list and the normal text is not converting when I am converting from RH 9 to MS Word 2010

    Hi all,
    Greetings for the day
    I am created a new CSS in Robohelp 9. I have also created a new template in Word 2010. The style sets for different information elements like (Heading, bullets, body text, ) are more or less same between the CSS and the new templates. I am also able to map the .css styles to Word template when I am converting from RH to Word as I am getting the necessary option in the drop-down list.
    However, when the output is generated, the bullet, the numbered list and the body text is not converting at all. The body text works sometimes. However, the numbered list and bullet list is coming out as images.
    If anybody knows the solution, I can share the .css and Word template.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Parag Deb

    Create a new project with two or three topics containing lists of both types. Generate a printed output that shows the problem. Then zip it up and send it to me. See the Contact page on my site for instructions.

  • How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

    when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
    I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
    This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of  stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
    HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
    Please, will someone help?
    I would be so grateful.
    thanks,
    Gina

    Gee, Pat, this is a  real big help.
    Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
    Maybe someone else has an idea.
    Take Ownership of a File or Folder
    The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
    Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

  • How do you stop DNG Converter from embedding Adobe's ACR default settings instead of custom settings?

    I notice that the new version of Adobe DNG Converter (8.6, and maybe earlier) appears to place Adobe's ACR defaults in the converted file.  Thus, the converted files open up in Bridge with an indication that they already have settings made, and, hence, ACR does not apply the custom camera settings.  One has to Clear Settings first in Bridge, then open in ACR.
    This behavior is new, perhaps to 8.6.  But it's presence defeats the purpose of having custom Camera Defaults.
    Is there any way to prevent DNG Converter from installing settings?

    ssprengel wrote:
    What do you mean by “custom camera settings”?  Do you mean you’ve changed the Camera Raw defaults for a particular camera and those aren’t being seen until you do a Reset?  Or do you mean some sort of Nikon-settings that Adobe never looks at?
    Also at what point in the workflow are you converting these files, just after copying them to your hard-disk and before touching them with any other Adobe software, or after they’ve been adjusted in Nikon software, or after they’ve been adjusted in Bridge/ACR, initially as NEFs?
    I mean my custom camera defaults that are set by the Save New Camera Defaults for a given camera.
    My workflow is to take my original raw files first into Adobe DNG Converter.  I then open the folder in Bridge.  At this point I notice that my original raw files remain unaltered (there is no "settings" icon in the top right corner – circle with two lines and up-arrows – in the image's thumbnail), but the converted dng's (otherwise untouched and unopened in ACR) have a "settings" icon.  When I open the original raw file in ACR, it opens using my custom camera defaults.  When I open the otherwise virgin dng in ACR, it opens using the Adobe defaults (the same defaults that would be employed if no custom camera default had been set).
    This behavior is new.  DNGs formed by earlier versions of the DNG Converter did not apply any settings to the converted file, and when they opened in Bridge, they were given the custom camera settings.
    In order to retain the old (and proper) behavior, I now have to take the just-converted documents into Bridge, select them, and immediately apply Develop Settings/Clear Settings.  That gets rid of the settings that have been installed by the DNG Converter (as well as the "settings" icon on the thumbnail).
    I notice there is a new feature in Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, namely, a panel-specific toggle between the settings and the default settings. This indicates to me the likelihood that Adobe has been making some alterations with the settings that is having unintended consequences.  It clearly is not proper for DNG Converter to be adding (installing) settings, because that prevents the custom camera default settings from being applied, and hence defeats the purpose of the custom camera default settings.
